I wonder why we shifted away from things like waxed paper milk cartons(like the small ones you'd get in school) and waxed butcher paper?

Is waxed paper/cardboard product really that much more expensive than plastic in terms of packaging?

Here in Germany, all milk is still distributed in cardboard packages

Yeah, but the inner lining of tetrapacks is plastic

[-] maniii@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
